+1 for Daryl’s resume as well.
As for me:
For out on the trail I have my stainless Colt Delta Elite 10mm; upgraded with Novak tritium sights, Wilson full length guide rod, 25lb spring and recoil buffer, and arched mainspring housing. Loaded with 220grain Buffalo Bore.
For my “Barbeque Gun”?........well it’s a Kimber Pro Carry .45ACP bone stock except for an arched mainspring housing. Federal Hydra Shock 230’s.
I just like the feel of the arched mainspring housing on a 1911 so both of them got the switch.

EDIT: still have and carry my S&W Mod. 629 for in the woods in the Fall when the bears are eating everything in sight.
I'm with you in all you described above--picked up a Colt Gold Cup years ago--still sitting new in the box... also have a few Kimber's floating around.. for me, nothing quite fits like a 1911..
Contrary to what most of the LE is doing, our local Sheriff's department just went back to 1911 's in 45acp.. I do some other training with them so I get a chance to shoot them from time to time..very accurate and nice shooting
Like you, in the woods during all rush season by the bears, I normally strap on one of my S&W 44mag's--usually the titanium version....
